Gary, I missed the beginning of the whole acquisition discussion a couple of months back. Can you provide a thumbnail sketch of what circumstances and conditions, either for the target or the acquirer, indicate that something may be in the works or ought to be?

i still want to offer my kudos to you for recognizing cpq would be purchasing a company, and being way ahead of the analysts. i would have never guessed the company cpq would acquire would be dec, especially now, with dec without a networking sector (sold to cs) and no alpha chip (sold to intel), and now people think of dec as a service, suppport, integrator company. they may still be in the business of purchasing a networking company.
